Special Election today in N. Carolina due to Republican illegal tampering in 2018. Trump has endorsed Dan Bishop.
In North Carolina, The Last Election Of 2018 Is Also The First Election Of 2020
President Trump is betting that his political brand will help Republicans keep hold of a U.S. House seat in North Carolina during a special election Tuesday.
"To stop the far left, you must vote in tomorrow's special election," Trump said at a campaign rally in Fayetteville, N.C., on Monday night. The rally was held for the Republican candidate running in the 9th Congressional District, state Sen. Dan Bishop.
Bishop promised the crowd, mostly decked out in Make America Great Again hats, that he would "defend your values in Washington, D.C."
Bishop is running in a do-over election from last November after North Carolina's Board of Elections found that a political operative illegally collected absentee mail ballots for the Republican candidate, Mark Harris.
The state ordered a new election, which will officially be the last race from the 2018 midterms. Harris isn't running again.
Democrat Dan McCready, the victim of that alleged fraud, says Tuesday's election is a chance for justice.
"Our right to vote is our most sacred right as Americans," McCready said. "It's a right that people have fought for here at home in the battle for civil rights. And that was stolen from the people." -snip
